Description: THIS ITEM MEASURES 3.5 IN X 3.25 IN. Based in Thailand during the Vietnam war, the 44th proved itself to be an effective unit of the 388th TFW, flying daily combat missions against communist targets in North Vietnam. The 44th was basically a strike squadron, flying the single seat F-105D, until October 1967 when it absorbed the mission and makeup of the wing's 13th TFS. The latter was being transferred to Udorn RTAFB to become an F-4D Phantom II unit. The 44th then absorbed the two-seat F-105F aircraft that formerly belonged to the 13th TFS, and the unit now possessed both D and F model Thunderchiefs. The squadron's primary mission became one of flying escort to the wing's regular strike force to suppress anti aircraft artillery (AAA) and surface-to-air missiles (SAMs). Another special mission the 44th TFS inherited from the 13th was the "Ryan's Raiders" night radar bombing flights in specially equipped F-105Fs.For orders of multiple items, please ask (or wait) for a revised invoice with reduced shipping charge BEFORE paying.YOUR ITEM WILL BE SHIPPED WITHIN 24 HOURS UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR PAYMENT.FOR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS ONLY: WE WILL SHIP BY 1st CLASS MAIL.
